God Isn’t Listening To You

No Comments

Greetings friend, grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. God has allowed me to share His Word with you and for this I am grateful. He has allowed me to be instrumental in spreading His message of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Father help me to stay on track, so that I do not violate your word with what I think, so that my communication will remain in harmony with the good news.  Thank you Lord God, it is in Jesus name I pray Amen.

Imagine this, you are at school in a class that you have always been afraid to take, but it is required and now you are in it. The teacher is asking questions of the students in order to get a feel of the challenge that is before them for the semester. You are one out of at least 30  students, and you are hoping that in all of the students the teacher won’t call you, you don’t want the teacher to call on you because you are not prepared. You know that you neglected to apply your self in the past and you are not academically where you should be. You were hoping to hide among the crowd and not be detected. You will do anything not to be called. Then everyone will know your embarrassing secret.  Among all the students you look the same, you dress nice, you speak intelligently, you act respectable so outwardly you are undetectable, you are hiding in plan sight, and Finally the teacher calls on you.

It is the same way in many of the Christian communities, especially in Churches with large congregations. The Christian community is attractive, people feel good when they are among us as long as they don’t have to do anything. They blend in with the congregation, they sing praises to God, they pray to God they give to the Church, they participate in many of the activities and they live commendable lives, but they have not believed on the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus said I Am the way and the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father unless through me (John 14:6). You can hide among Christians, give praises to God, you can give your money and be kind to your neighbors but it won’t do you any good , this is why.

One day Your time here in this world is going to come to a end, you know this. If you did not take God’s offer of eternal life you have already been condemned, because you did not believe in God’s only begotten Son,  who God gave to the world to sacrifice for the payment of sin to redeem us from bondage of sin and death. You must believe in Him while you are still alive, once you die it is to late. This is so tragic, God love you and He did all He can do to save you. He won’t force you, yes He has the power to force you, but God don’t want you to love him because He forced you. God not only created you and I, but He also worked for our love. God want you and I to make a conscience decision, a intelligent decision based on the knowledge that you have concerning Him and His Son Jesus Christ.

God has blessed every human being that has ever lived, only three of them were not under the condemnation of sin at the time of their blessing and one of them blessed the world by His birth. Don’t think that because God Bless you that you’re saved. Until you meet the requirements, you can not enter into the presence of God for Him to take up your petition, so you are wasting your time, your prayers are bouncing off the walls into obscurity. God is not  listening to you. There is only one way (John 14:6) the good news is that You can still do something about that, no one can do it for you. Believe in Jesus now and the work he has done. Anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved, Amen. Believe in Jesus today, ask Him to forgive you for your sins. If this message helped you and you now have a better understanding contact me, blog the post. God bless you.

Thank you Lord Jesus, Amen

Face The Truth

Greetings my friends, Grace, and peace to you in the name of God our Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit. I thank God Because He has allowed me to share His word with you. Lord lead me and guide me as I share your word concerning truth, in Jesus name Amen. The truth is in order to live your life in a manner which is pleasing to God, you must have a relationship with Christ which is one of reconciliation.

My friends in order to be the person that God wants you to be, you must come face to face with the truth. You must live your life according to the truth. Truth is based on facts. Every day you have to make decisions and your decisions are based on the information you have. If the information is erroneous, not factual,  you are not going to receive your desired results. The earth is 92,956,000 miles from the Son, this is a fact. If you throw something, depending on the weight and the force by which you throw it will determine where it lands, this is a fact. We must have oxygen to live, that’s a fact. If you put your hand in the fire it will get burned, this is a fact. You can be foolish and deny the truth but that does not change the fact that it is true.

From the time Adam disobeyed God and ate the fruit that God commanded Him not to eat, people have been running from and covering up the truth. Adam made the decision to eat the fruit base on information that was not true, actually, the information was a lie. This caused a paradigm shift, which has lasted to the present times. People now are born living according to the lie and has to choose to live according to the truth. The first man was created and lived according to the truth and chose to live according to the lie,  this is a fact. John wrote And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, we have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:14). Jesus said “I am the way and the truth and the life, ( John 14:6a). God is the truth, Jesus is the personification of truth, Jesus is God. This is a fact. Although He has never sinned, He was declared to be guilty, and was crucified, and died on the cross for the sins of the world, that was created by Him. He rose from the dead, He ascended into heaven, and He is at the right hand of God, this is factual, this is the truth.

Everyone Christian and none Christian live from God’s blessing every day, this is a fact. From the time you wake up, that’s a blessing, The ability to go to sleep at night, that’s a blessing. The very life you have is a blessing, and there are many other blessings that Christians and non-Christians share. God blesses who He wants to bless. You don,t have to be a Christian to receive a blessing from God. However, there is one blessing you won’t receive (eternal life) unless you believe in the Son of God, Jesus Christ.

you must believe that Jesus died on the cross for your sin and that He rose from the dead and He is alive right now, this is a fact, this is the truth. When you believe God, who is the truth and can not lie, and ask Him to forgive you based on these facts, you will receive everlasting life, Amen! Anything contrary to this is a lie. You must make a decision, these are the facts.

He that believeth on him is not judged: he that believeth not hath been judged already, because he hath not believed on the name of the only begotten Son of God (John 3:18).

Are you a gambler? Do you like to take chances? Listen, your lifei is not something to gamble with, your life is not something to play games with. Your life is precious. If this is not the value you place on your life, allow me to tell you, your life is precious so precious to God, He gave the life of His Son to pay the the ransom to redeem you from the slave market of sin and death. I assure you it might be a game to you but, you don’t want to play with God. You will surely lose. Many have tried and lost. My friends these are all the facts, if you have not excepted Jesus as your savior don’t put it off any longer. Thank you, God Bless you. Amen.

My Friends grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father and Our Lord Jesus Christ.

Friends God has gone through great lengths to let you know that He loves you.  God has done all that

can be done in order for you and me to be saved from the condemnation that has been brought

upon us by our sin. There is absolutely nothing we can do that will be acceptable to God for our

redemption from the horror to come. Deep inside our souls, we know that day is coming.  The good

news is that even, though we cannot redeem ourselves, and nothing we do is acceptable to God, He

provided us with a lamb whose heart is purer than gold, His fleece is whiter than snow. That Lamb is

His Son, who has never sinned, He laid down His life as a sacrifice for our sin, He did it for the sin of the

entire world. He was and is the only one who has the qualities needed to please God, and He did it

willingly, to save you and I and whosoever will believe.  We Owe our allegiance to the one that died for

us. I hope these short words help you to understand that you are literally endangering your life, by

refusing to take God upon His gift of eternal life. Think about it, What more could He have done?  The

choice is up to you, I hope you choose Jesus today.

God bless you.

GRACE IS AMAZING

Greetings my friends Grace and peace to you in the name God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Our God is so great that it is impossible to get any greater. God loves us with a great love that transcends our understanding. God’s love for us is infinite and has no end. God With His lovingkindness is infinitely merciful. Thank you, Lord, for this opportunity to share concerning your Grace. Lord, please lead and guide me so that I may help someone to understand clearly about your Grace. Thank you Lord in Jesus Name I pray. Amen

It is by Grace You are Saved through faith it’s not of yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works so no one can boast.you have been saved for good works so no one can boast (Eph 2:8,9). The most important issue that everyone face is, where will I spend eternity? According to the Bible, every person will either spend eternity in Heaven or Hell. There is no middle grown, to say forever is an understatement.

That being said, September 1971 Was the day that began to change my life forever, because that is when I understood something about God that opened my understanding and enabled me to believe in the only person who could save me from spending eternity in Hell. A guy that I worked with at North American Car Corporations shared a verse of scripture with me. He recited John 3:16, after which he shows me the scripture to read it my self. I have heard about Jesus, I’ve been to church, but for the first time in my life, I sort of understood. Will looked at me and laughed. Everyday Will would share scripture with me. One day will said to me “Reggie did you know that you can not even talk to God unless you go through His Son”. I responded are you kidding? Again He showed me the passage John 14:6 I Am the way and the truth and the life and no one comes to my Father unless by Me. That verse of scripture changed the way I looked at everything. I found myself thinking a lot about God, and will continue sharing with me. One day Will said to me “Reggie you are going to be the reason you, your wife and baby go to Hell. I became angry with Will and I told Him I didn’t want to discuss the Bible with him anymore. I understand now that I was resisting coming to the Lord for salvation. But Will did his duty as a Christian and planted a seed that in time, about two years God would make it grow.

Will gave me something that would literally save my life. April 17, 1973, I was working inside a tank car, and there was a flash fire inside the tank, the air was on fire. The skin on my hands and face rolled right up as it was burned. I looked to one end of the tank and there was a ball of fire that began to spend in a circular manner and it roared as it picked up speed, and began coming toward me. My thoughts began to race, I thought about my wife and my son, my mother, sisters and brothers, and death and Hell, I knew that this is it, and I thought about John 14:6 and I thought about John 3:16 and I got on my knees while I was burning and I asked Jesus to save me, and then the tank exploded. I was in Cook County Hospital for four and a half months. The doctor told me when I came when you leave here you are going to walk. I always say God saved me from the fire and He saved me from the fire.

It was by the grace of God that I was saved, I did nothing to deserve it, I certainly did not earn it. It was given to me as a gift, by God because of the work that Jesus did on the cross and He died for my sin. God said if I believe in Him I shall have eternal life. I believed. What about you? Do you believe? You don’t have to wait until some catastrophe happens before you come to God. You never know when your time is up. You don’t have to be sick to die, sometimes people just die, but as long as you have a life you can be saved, once you die it too late. Choose Jesus today.

Thank you, my friends, if this message helped you to make up your mind and choose Jesus, reach out and let me know. Blog me. Thank you, Jesus, Lord of Lords

The Serpent On The Pole

Greeting my friends, grace, and peace to you in the name of the Father and The Son and the Holy Spirit. I consider it

an honor and a privilege that God has allowed me to share with you concerning the stubbornness because of sin’s influence in

our lives. Thank You, Lord Lead me and guide me that I may stay focused and express your word to your people in which I am also one.

Thank You In Jesus name Amen.

According to numbers 21:8,9 the people made a lot of complaints against Moses and God.  As a result, God sent fiery serpents among

the people. Many of them were bit by the serpents and many of them died. The people cried out to Moses and informed him that they had sinned

against God. They asked Moses to Go to God on their behalf. God instructed Moses to erect a serpent on a pole and place it into the middle of the camp,

And anyone who gets bit by a serpent all that person has to do is look at the serpent on the pole and they will live. The people were so stubborn they wouldn’t even

look at the serpent on the pole to save their life. God provided them with a way to save their lives and many of them wouldn’t take it. They couldn’t believe it.

Jesus spoke of this with Nicodemus. The problem of disbelief. Jesus told Nicodemus, you must be born again. Nicodemus asked Jesus How can a man be born again once

he is old. Can a man go back into his mother’s womb?  Jesus explained to him that his thinking is all messed up. It is difficult for him to understand because he doesn’t

understand natural things, how can he understand spiritual things. Jesus explained to Him that he needed to be born again spiritually. Flesh gives birth to flesh and Spirit gives birth to spirit.

Jesus went on to tell him just how to get born again. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believe in Him shall not perish, but shall have everlasting life.

Just like people wouldn’t look at the serpent, they won’t believe that God sent His Son to die for their sin. Jesus said, “And if I am lifted up from the earth I will draw all

men unto me “( John 12:32). There comes a time in life when we have to use the ability God gave each of us to reason. We must use our ability to reason and trust God, and not ourselves.

There shall be no salvation apart from the cross. You must come to Jesus.  People are going to be stubborn and resist, they can’t help it, because of the evil influence of sin in their lives.

Gods’ word is so powerful that it will not come back void. Don’t be discouraged you serve the awesome, Living God. Thank you, my friends. Thank You Jesus Amen.

My friends If this message has helped you understand your need for salvation Let me know, Blog me. Do you agree with the text? let me know too Blog me. Amen.

What is your opinion concerning the matter?

The Choice Made Between Two Son’s

But what think ye? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go work to-day in the vineyard. And he answered and said, I will not: but afterward he repented himself, and went. And he came to the second, and said likewise. And he answered and said, I go, sir: and went not. Which of the two did the will of his father? They say, The first. Jesus saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, that the publicans and the harlots go into the kingdom of God before you. For John came unto you in the way of righteousness, and ye believed him not; but the publicans and the harlots believed him: and ye, when ye saw it, did not even repent yourselves afterward, that ye might believe him. (Matt 21:28-32).

Greeting my friends’ grace and peace to you in the name of God our Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit.

I thank God for you and the privilege He has given me to share His word with you. I pray Lord that you keep me focused

on the delivery concerning the choices we make. Thank You, Lord, in Jesus name Amen.

Brothers and sisters these two Son that Jesus is speaking of gives us a perfect contrast to compare and choose.

The first Son just said right away, “no” whatever His problem was he was perfectly honest in his response to his father.

No father I’m not going to do it. He knew he should have done what his father wanted him to do but he didn’t care.

He didn’t try to hide it. He just did not want to do it and made the conscious decision that he was not going to do.

Later He thought about it, he probably thought this is my dad who asks me to do this work. He has been good to me,

He provided for me, he made sure I had everything I needed to live a decent life free of worry or danger, or hunger and even now

loves me unconditionally. I am wrong l change my mind, I will do as he asked. The scriptures seem to allude to this son representing

the people who have no interest in pure religion. They do not fear God, and they don’t pretend to. There is no hypocrisy about them.

They know they are sinners and they will tell you that.

The second son said “I go Sir” and went not. He said one thing and then acted in the opposite direction of what He said he would do.

His actions were not consistent. There is a contradiction in what he said he was going to do and what he actually did. there was a contradiction

in his promise and his performance. He was deceptive, he gave no indication that he had no intention of doing what his father wanted him to do.

His composure and his words were a lie. He professed obedience and had no intention of obeying, therefore he was a hypocrite.

Both sons were in a dangerous position. Their characters were different,  opposite each other. they were different in thought and word.

Their difference answers were only an indication of varieties of sin.  The first Son was bold, guilty of rebellion. The second son was cowardly.

the first son neither promised or meant to obey. The other son promised obedience but intended not to keep his word.

Looking at it from this point we have no reason to prefer one son over the other. It is in their ultimate act that they were different.

The first son after a blunt refusal repented of his sin and went out to labor for his father. The other promptly promised but failed to

perform.  His brother changed from bad to good, but this son was not changed from good to bad, his attitude was pre-determined’

he had no intention of changing. These two sons represent two different types of people. The first represented the harlots and the publicans and all

the people John the Baptist preached to, they lived in open rebellion, publicans, tax collectors, harlots, they were sinners and they knew it.

The second son represents the religious leaders, who wore garments to give the impression of religious order and prominence.   But they were as far from

God as the outcast. Professing to be the Lords, yet they were disobedient and rebellious in all the deep facts of their lives.

We must be careful not to allow ourselves to think we are more than we really are. If we are  Christians it is because we are sinners who repented and believed that Jesus

Christ died on the cross for our sins and based on that fact we ask Him to forgive us, and as a result of that God gives us eternal life. The only difference between the

saved and the unsaved is not that we are not sinners, because we are, we were born sinners. The difference is that we repented and believed on Jesus Christ and asked Jesus

to forgive us, And He did. My friends tell others about Jesus, We all have to come the same way,  Jesus Is the Way.  help them to understand, their lives depend on it. God bless you.

If you read this message and you have made a decision concerning your life, and God, Contact me, allow me to help.

Blog my post. thank you and God Bless you

The King Is Comming

Greetings my friends Grace and Peace to you in the name of God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

I thank God for you and the opportunity to share with you about the return of the King, The Son of God, our Lord Jesus Christ.

But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory:

 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats;

 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed

of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:  (Matt 25:31-34).

On that day my friends a great trumpet will blow, the trumpet was used in the old testament to call God’s people together for,  either war, worship,

or instruction. on that day the trumpet will call all of God’s people from across the world. That day which use to be referred to as the day of the Lord

is going to be a day like no other and shall never be another day like it. On that day, when the trumpet blows suddenly all who did not choose Jesus will

suddenly realize that they made the wrong choice. On that day it is going to be rejoicing like never before. there will be wailing and despair. The King is going to give

an inheritance to all who were saved, which He prepared before the foundation of the world, Afterwards, the king is going to turn His attention to those who are

His enemies and He is going to give them their inheritance. They will be cast out into outer darkness, and the Lake of fire, there will be no hope for them, there will be no mercy.

God will not change His mind. Those who are disobedient and refuse to accept God’s gift of eternal life will be thrown into the lake of fire, they will suffer for

the rest of eternity. This is why it is so urgent that we reach out to tell as many people as we can about Jesus Christ. The King is coming back, just as it has been prophesized.

When he gets here it will be too late.

There is no reason that it couldn’t happen at any time. It could happen tomorrow or even today. Everything in God’s program that had to happen first

has happened.  The next thing to happen in God’s program is the triumphant return of the King.  Brothers and Sisters, you must for your own conscience sake

reach out and tell as many lost people as you can. So that when that day comes you won’t say I could have told them about Jesus, God forgive me, because I didn’t tell them about

your mercy, and your grace, I didn’t tell them about your love, I didn’t tell them about Jesus.

Friends, if you have not been saved don’t waste any more time, don’t be afraid, Jesus will not turn you away, He will save you. Anyone who calls upon the Name of the Lord

shall be saved (Romans 10:13). If you believe and you don’t know exactly what to do, contact me, blog this post. Brothers and Sisters, I hope this word of encouragement is

instrumental in causing you to fulfill your duty as a Christain, King Jesus is on His way. Amen.

Weapons of Mass Salvation

No Comments

Brothers and Sister, Grace and Peace to you in the name of God our Father and

The Son and the Holy Spirit. May God bless you with all that you need to live your

life before Him that is mutually pleasing to Him, you, and the community of

fellow believers. Thank You, Lord, for giving me this fantastic opportunity to share your

word with your people, in which I am also one. Please, Lord, keep me on the right track so I may only

communicate what pleases you. Thank You, Lord, In Jesus name, Amen.

1 John 5:9-12 (ASV)
9  If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God is greater: for the witness of God is this, that he hath borne witness concerning his Son.
10  He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in him: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he hath not believed in the witness that God hath borne concerning his Son.

11  And the witness is this, that God gave us eternal life, which is in his Son.
12  He that hath the Son hath the life; he that hath not the Son of God hath not the life.

Brothers and sisters, you are warriors of God, not with weapons that shed blood, but with weapons of truth.

Not of something you think may be true, not something that sounds good, although it does appeal to the soul.

But the truth you are handling is from the source of all truth. The truth you are equipped with has brought kings

down off of their thrones, has destroyed cities, and has rescued millions from their oppressors. The truth you have been entrusted with is sharper than any two-edged sword.  God has entrusted us with the truth so that we may use the truth to reach out to the lost.

God has given us the truth so that those held captive may be free. Free from the grip of sin and death.

People are so quick to believe the testimony of people who are capable of twisting the truth (lying) rather than believing God, who cannot lie. God in His Great wisdom created a wonderful world, beautiful in every respect, God created creatures of all type that were wonderful, and gorgeous. God created the heavens, and the Angels, God created man, in his image. A creation that is considered the crown of his creation. A being who can communicate with Him, a person who shares some of His attributes. God created a being with an intellect, emotions, and a will like Himself. God loves His creation God know all things before it happens, and God knows man’s weaknesses and God knew the man is going to Sin and fall from grace. God loves us so much that He planned before time to rescue His creation by sending the creator Himself, His Son, to take our sins upon Himself and die in our place.  Because the penalty for sin is death, death of the spirit, and death of the body. Spiritual death is the spirit being separated from God. God hates sin and cannot look upon it; therefore, the person who sins can no longer communicate with God because they are spiritually dead.

It is God’s Plan from eternity pass to send His Son to die on the cross for the sin of man who God knew was going to sin so that man could be reconciled and restore their relationship with God. This restoration is based on the sacrifice of His Son; God removed the barrier that separated us from Himself and gave it to all who believe in the work of His Son. God has set guidelines for people to follow

for their salvation and eternal life. That life is in His Son, and you who are saved know this is true. This is God’s testimony: if a person doesn’t believe God,

they may as well dig their own grave and start burning because they are calling God a liar.  God is so good He will even forgive you for that. God loves you so much, and He gives you every opportunity to receive salvation. Here is the bottom line: He or she who has the Son has the life, and He who has not the Son Has not the life.  My friends’ warriors of God, don’t allow Satan to convince you that there is another way

 , causing you to turn a blind eye to what God wants you to do; God left it up to you. Jesus said I Am the way, truth, and life, and no one can come to the Father except by me. Well, now you have it. Jesus told us that God so l; love the world that He gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe on him shall have everlasting life. If God has allowed you to be reached, and you don’t know what to do,

allow me to help you; that is if you want to be saved. God’s word says that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you shall be saved. It is with your mouth that you confess and with your heart that you believe.  If you have now decided to confess Jesus in your life, you have decided to change your life for the Good forever. Don’t be afraid you have nothing to loose and everything to gain. Once you confess, you will be saved and receive God’s gift, not when you die, but right now. Pray this prayer with me. Lord, I am a sinner and seek forgiveness, I believe in your Son Jesus Christ and the work that He did dying on the cross for my sin God I ask you to forgive me. Thank you, Lord, in Jesus’s name, I pray, Amen.

Contact me.  God bless you. Thank You, Lord, in Jesus Name, Amen.

Rev. Reginald Stevens
